Runs on +/- 15V like the original. Ran out of room in the enclosure for the batteries. I like using batteries with audio gear whenever possible because you eliminate the problem of regulating AC ripple, which usually require large electrolytic caps.
At normal gains you might not hear much AC ripple from something with a normal 120 mains step-down transformer, like say in the original MXR flanger. However modern compression techniques will bring out that 60htz hum in your mix.
So here using modern fast OPAMPs and +/-15V higher voltage (better signal to noise) is the ultimate audio path for recording the Linn LM-1, LinnDrum, Linn 9000 and Oberheim DMX original samples.
The CEM filter chip used can be switched in or bypassed. I added some extra features to increase the HiHat function. Instead of one HiHat pitch/env channels there are 3, two for a tight, mid tight then open HiHat sound.
Currently loaded are the 66 original samples covering all original sounds from the machines and any extra expansions I could find online. There's room for another sound EEPROM to double this, but I'm already using 99 MIDI notes with the mapping of the samples already loaded.
While the analog volume envelopes are multiplexed, the single voice channel out is not, for the most uncompromising in accuracy of audio coming out of the original AM6070 DAC.
